Record team entry for Jumping Championships

by Louise Parkes

Riders from a bigger spread of nations than ever before will line out when the FEI European Jumping Championships 2015 get underway in Aachen, Germany next week. A new high was reached when the list of definite Jumping entries was confirmed today, and a massive 28 nations will be represented, while 23 countries will field teams and five will send individuals.

The full list of nations is Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine.

This is the 32nd edition of the FEI European Jumping Championships, and the fifth time for the event to take place at Aachen. The inaugural FEI European Jumping Championship was held in Rotterdam (NED) in 1957 when German legend, Hans Gunther Winkler, claimed the title. Only individuals competed in the early editions, but as soon as the team event was introduced at Munich (GER) in 1975, Germany laid claim to that too. The German record in these championships is second to none, with 14 individual and seven team titles to their credit.

Defending the team title

However it is the British who will be defending the team title they won in Herning, Denmark two years ago when the action gets underway on Wednesday 19 August, while Frenchman Roger Yves Bost returns as defending individual champion. The British have a strong record at the Europeans, with six individual and five team titles already on the record books. Their 2013 victory came hot on the heels of their gold-medal-winning performance at the London 2012 Olympic Games, but this time around they will be without their world no 1 rider Scott Brash who was a critical member of that successful side. Michael Whitaker steps up to the challenge once again however as does Ben Maher, while the veteran Guy Williams, Joe Clee and the relative newcomer Jessica Mendoza complete the pack. The British broke a 60-year drought when winning Olympic team gold in 2012, yet they still haven’t managed to qualify for Rio 2016. So, along with many others, they will really be feeling the heat next week when the final team qualification is up for grabs.

Despite fielding a typically formidable side, Germany had to settle for silver last time around, so Christian Ahlmann, Ludger Beerbaum, Daniel Deusser, Janne Friederike Meyer and Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum will be hoping to restore normal order, especially on home ground. Sweden took bronze in 2013, and Malin Baryard-Johnsson, Douglas Lindelow, Helena Persson, Henrik von Eckermann and Charlotte Mordanini will be hoping to put their country back on that podium. The Irish are in fighting form and completely focused on claiming one of the three Olympic qualifying spots available, but with so many others including the Belgians and the Swiss chasing the same goal it will be no easy feat.

There will be no place to hide from the moment the first individual qualifier begins, because every single jump will count in the battle for both the FEI European Jumping Championships 2015 titles and one of those coveted tickets for Rio.

Individual honours

Roger Yves Bost was only the fifth French rider ever to claim the individual European honours two years ago. Great Britain’s Ben Maher went into the final competition with the narrowest of leads, but a fence down saw him having to settle for silver ahead of team-mate Scott Brash who rose from overnight 10th place to take bronze when producing the only double-clear performance of the day.

Bost was following in famous footsteps, as the list of previous French champions included Pierre Durand and the legendary Jappeloup who first topped the podium at St Gallen (SUI) in 1987, Eric Navet who reigned supreme on home turf at La Baule (FRA) in 1991, Alexandra Ledermann and Rochet M – the first woman ever to take the title – who headed the line-up in Hickstead (GBR) in 1999 and Kevin Staut and Kraque Boom who were winners in Windsor (GBR) in 2009. Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum is the only other female champion, pipping Belgium’s Jos Lansink in a thriller at Mannheim (GER) in 2007 during the peak of her partnership with the great Shutterfly. And in the fabulous grey Fibonacci, the American-born German rider has found an extraordinarily talented replacement, so she cannot be overlooked once the action kicks off.

However 96 riders will be carrying all their hopes and dreams onto the hallowed turf of the Soers arena at Aachen in seven days’ time, and these Championships, which have turned up some of the most memorable moments of this great sport down the years, promise plenty of drama and excitement before the 2015 champions are crowned.

FEI World Breeding Dressage Championships for Young Horses 2015

Verden (GER), 10 August 2015

By Louise Parkes

The Danish warmblood mare, Fiontini, topped the 5-Year-Old division while last year’s 5-Year-Old champion, the brown-black Danish stallion Sezuan 2, clinched the 6-Year-Old title this time around at the FEI World Breeding Dressage Championships 2015 which drew to a close at Verden, Germany yesterday.

Once again the event was staged within the framework of the International Dressage and Jumping Festival, and many of the sport’s top riders brought their future stars to measure and compare their progress and potential over the five-day fixture.

Five-Year-Olds

With Spain’s Severo Jesus Jurado Lopez in the saddle, the Fassbinder x Romanov Blue Hors mare Fiontini set out on the road to success with victory in the 5-Year-Old qualifier on Thursday. Scoring 9.48, the pair earned the only maximum 10 awarded in the competition when judges Susanne Baarup (DEN), Annette Fransen Iacobaeus (SWE), Andrew Gardner (GBR) and Liselotte Fore (USA) were hugely impressed by the mare’s trot, while canter was rewarded with a significant 9.8.

The Netherlands’ Kristen Brouwer lined up second here with Five Star 2 (Amazing Star x Jazz) who posted a mark of 9.44 while fellow-Dutch competitor Marieke van der Putten scored 9.32 with another KWPN stallion, Four Legends, (Wynton x Ferro). Fourth place went to Vera Nass with the Hannoverian stallion Quantensprung 3 (Quando x Donnerhall) and next in line was fellow-German Ann-Christin Wienkamp and the Oldenburg stallion Sir Olli (Sir Donnerhall l x Florestan) who posted 8.98. A total of 42 talented young horses started in this competition, but only the top 12 qualified for Saturday’s 5-Year-Old Final which was judged by Susanne Baarup (DEN), Eddy de Wolff van Westerrode (NED), Isabelle Judet (FRA) and Dr Dietrich Plewa (GER).

And Fiontini rose to the occasion once again this time out, the imposing mare scoring 9.18 to pip another mare with the same genetic bloodline, Fiontina, who is also by Fassbinder and out of the mare Rapitala x Romanov Blue Hors. Both young horses were produced by embryo transfer and were carried by surrogate mares, and the sisters caused quite a stir at the Blue Horse Championships for Young Dressage Horses staged during the Danish Stallion Licensing last March where British superstar, Charlotte Dujardin awarded them with 10s. “However I would have preferred to award even higher marks such as 11 or 12 for their rideability – they are simply incredible!” Dujardin said at the time.

It was a significant improvement for silver medallists Fiontina and rider Andreas Helgstrand from Denmark who had lined up eighth in the qualifying round. They scored 9.02 on the final day, while Nass and Quantensprung took the bronze medal when 8.96.

“She was always concentrated on me and my aids, a super horse” said Severo Jesus Jurado Lopez of his winning ride.

Six-Year-Olds

Last year’s 5-Year-old champion, Sezuan 2, threw down the gauntlet when he produced a big score of 9.52 to win the 6-Year-Old qualifier for Dorothee Schneider. Julia-Katharina von Platen lined up second here with the Hannoverian mare Danza ll (Dimaggio x Rubin-Royal) on a mark of 8.98 while yet another of the German contingent, Beatrice Buchwald, steered DSP Belantis (Benetton Dream x Expo’se) into third on 8.90. Schneider had a busy day, finishing fourth with Stanford 9 (Donnerhall x Diamon Hill) who posted 8.62, but there would once again be some reshuffling of the leaderboard when the top 15 returned on the final day.

Maria Colliander (FIN), Annette Fransen Iacobaeus (SWE), Andrew Gardner (GBR) and Liselotte Fore (USA) were in the judging positions once again for this, and they awarded the winning pair a full 10 for both canter and final impression to leave them with a final score of 9.72. Van Platen’s Danza ll only managed a joint-seventh place this time out when DSP Belantis and Buchwald rose to silver medal spot, but the most dramatic movement on the scoreboard was the meteoric rise of last year’s 5-Year-Old bronze medallists Kirsten Brouwer and Eye Catcher (Vivaldi x Partout) who rocketed up from ninth spot in the qualifying competition to third and bronze medal spot in the final analysis. Their score of 8.96 left them marginally ahead of Schneider with her second ride, Stanford.

Sezuan’s tremendous back-to-back double of wins suggests great things for his future, and Schneider said “I have almost no words to describe it, but I am very happy and delighted!”. The stallion, who was bred by Linette Jaeger, lives at the Stud Gestut Peterhof owned by Prof Edwin Kohl and Arlett Jasper-Kohl in Perl-Bord in south-west Germany and plans are being put in place to further his career. “Maybe the Nuremberg Cup, we will see. There is no doubt he is a horse for the big tour” Schneider said.

Madeleine Winter-Schulze and the stallion’s breeder, Neustadt/Dosse National State Stud, are joint-owners of silver medallist DSP Belantis. “Everything was fantastic today!” said his rider, Beatrice Buchwald. And Kirsten Brouwer had plenty of reason to celebrate the much-improved performance of her KWPN stallion who rose to the occasion in the final test. “Our presentation on Friday was not that perfect, he didn’t show what he usually shows. So I’m simply happy that he presented his super capabilities today” said the Dutch rider who will continue to partner this talented horse thanks to sponsors acquiring shares in the stallion.

Results:

Five-year-old Championship:  GOLD - Fiontini (Severo Jesus Jurado Lopez) ESP 9.2; SILVER - Fiontina (Andreas Helgstrand) DEN 9.0; BRONZE - Quantensprung (Vera Nass) GER 9.0.

British run rampant with five-time gold in Malmo

by Louise Parkes

The British made history at the FEI European Pony Championships 2015 in Malmo, Sweden when claiming all gold in Dressage along with both the Jumping and Eventing team titles. Only the individual Jumping and Eventing gold medals evaded their grasp, going to French rider Justine Maerte and Germany’s Calvin Bockmann respectively.

The British victory roll began in Thursday’s Dressage team competition in which Phoebe Peters’ fabulous performance with SL Lucci clinched it for her side. At 16 years of age, and in her last year at pony level, Peters looks set to make a big impression over the coming years, and her hat-trick of golden performances at the Swedish fixture were topped by a world record score when claiming the individual title on Saturday before she came out to break her own world record with another sensational result in yesterday’s Freestyle.

The 30th edition of the FEI European Pony Championships attracted Dressage teams from 13 countries – Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Sweden. Germany has long dominated the team podium, but this time around they had to settle for silver ahead of Denmark in bronze. It was a close-fought affair, only 0.641 separating the top two countries and the Danes just another 0.872 adrift.

In a class of their own

Peters and SL Lucci stole the limelight when taking individual and freestyle gold at Arezzo, Italy two years ago, and last summer claimed team and freestyle silver in Millstreet, Ireland. This time around however, they were in a class of their own once again.

Team mates Isobel Berrington (DHI Langar), Clare Hole (Rembrandt) and Rebecca Bell (Valido’s Sunshine) all posted scores in the low-70s, leaving the Germans led by Nadine Krause and Cyrill WE – who posted a handsome 75.769 – well on target for yet another team success. But Peters and her 13-year-old German-bred pony was awarded a massive 80.077 to lift her side from bronze medal spot all the way up to the top step of the podium.

Krause, Lana Raumanns (Den Ostriks Dailan), Linda Erbe (Dujardin B) and Helen Erbe (SFs Charly Brown) had to settle for silver while consistently strong scores from Sarah van Deurs Petersen (Farbenfroh), Karoline Rohmann (Adriano B), Louise Christensen (Vegellins Goya) and Sara Aagaard Hyrm (Der Harlekin B) left the Danies well ahead of the Dutch who would normally be expected to make a podium placing.

Veteran German team member, Nadine Krause, took the provisional lead after the first group of riders rode the individual test on Friday, judges Heike Ebert (GER), Kurst Christensen (DEN), Isobel Wessels (GBR), Bo Jena (SWE) and Mariette Sanders (NED) awarding 76.732 for some lovely work with her nine-year-old palomino stallion Cyrill WE while Germany’s Lana Raumanns filled second spot at this stage with Den Ostriks Dailan on 73.659.

But that would all be blown away the following morning when Peters posted a sensational 81.390 with SL Lucci. Going first in the day, she made it all look very easy, but Krause held on firmly for silver while fellow-German, Helen Erbe, won out in a five-way battle for the bronze. And then Peters came out yesterday to put the icing on the cake with a massive score of 85.825 to win the Freestyle, Krause again taking silver on 80.550 while Denmark’s Sara van Deurs Petersen clinched the bronze with a mark of 77.825.

Jumping

The Jumping team title, which dates back to the inaugural event in San Remo, Italy back in 1986, is never an easy one to win. But the British have a formidable record with 14 team and 10 individual gold medals to their credit, and Jodie Hall McAteer, Jack Whitaker, Jessica Hewitt and Charlotte Ash moved that team tally on to 15 last Friday. The Irish claimed silver for the second year running while the defending champions from France were close behind in bronze.

A total of 11 nations fielded teams – Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland – and it was the Belgians and Dutch that finished just outside the podium placings.

Scores from Thursday’s opening individual qualifier were carried through to Friday’s team competition, so the British were off the pace when all four riders on the Belgian, French and Irish sides impressively came through on a zero score, while three of the Germans did likewise to leave them all on level pegging.

But the British had just the single time fault collected by Jessica Hewitt and Ammanvalley Santino on their scoresheet. So when Jack Whitaker made a brilliant recovery from his 18-fault scoreline in Thursday’s opener with Zodianne van de Doevenbree to leave the whole course intact in the first round of the team event, then it was the single error from the last-line partnership of Charlotte Ash and Aughnashammer that was the British drop score, as Hewitt kept a clean sheet and Jodie Hall McAteer and Tixylix went double-clear.

Held their advantage

The Irish and French held their advantage with three more clears each, but when Abbie Sweetnam (Spartacus Reape) collected eight faults in the team competition second round, the four picked up by Luke Garrigan (Dr Spot) had to be counted despite clears from Olivia Rouston (Ballygawleys Little Ferro) and Mikey Pender (Imagine If One). And the French also lost their grip when having to count the five faults picked up by Charlotte Lebas this time out with Quabar des Monceaux, as pathfinders Victoria Tachet and Rexter d’Or produced the drop-score of eight while Justine Maerte (Shamrock du Gite) and Thomas Scalabre Sligo de Mormal) were foot-perfect. The Germans meanwhile slipped off the radar, collecting a total of 12 faults that allowed the Belgians with eight and the Dutch with a final total of nine to finish ahead of them in fourth and fifth places.

Jack Whitaker, 13-year-old son of legendary British senior team member Michael Whitaker who was competing for his country in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping qualifier in Dublin, Ireland on the same day, was the only British pony team member to drop a fence in the second round, which left them with team gold in their grasp on a final tally of just one fault, while the Irish claimed the silver with four and the French were close behind in bronze with five.

Individual final

A total of four riders – Maerte from France, Hall McAteer from Britain, Rowen van de Mheen from The Netherlands and Ireland’s Mikey Pender shared the lead on a zero score going into yesterday’s individual Jumping final. It turned into a thriller, coming down to a five-way jump-off for silver and bronze when only Maerte and her brilliant nine-year-old gelding Shamrock du Gite managed to keep a clean sheet yet again to clinch the title outright.

When Hall McAteer, Pender and van de Mheen each made a single mistake, they were joined on a four-fault tally by Thibault Philippaerts, 13-year-old son of Belgian star Ludo Philippaerts, and another Belgian Maartje Verberckmoes at the end of the second round, so it would take a jump-off to decide the places on the podium. Only Hall McAteer and Philippaerts managed to stay clear this time out, and the British rider got the edge to clinch silver with Tixylix when racing through the finish in 37.36 seconds while Philippaerts was almost five seconds slower with Okehurst Little Bow Wow when taking the bronze.

Eventing

A total of 52 combinations competed in the Eventing Championship, with eight countries – Belgium, Britain, France, Germany Ireland, Italy, Netherlands and Sweden – fielding teams.

The outstanding partnership of Calvin Bockmann and Askaban B led the individual leaderboard from the outset and never put a foot wrong over the following two phases to clinch the individual title. And the British made it a hat-trick of 2015 team victories in fine style.

Former international event rider, Gary Parsonage, was the third British Chef d’Equpe to have plenty to celebrate at the end of the team competition when Phoebe Locke (Quay), Harriet Wright (Foxtown Cufflynx), Saffron Cresswell (Cuffesgrange Little Ric) and Thomas Tulloch (Spirit Vl) came out on top. They headed the silver medallists from France by almost 16 penalty points while Sweden earned the bronze.

Technical Delegate Gaston Bileitczuk (FRA) and Ground Jury members Polyann Huntington (AUS), David Lee (IRL) and Anne Persson (SWE) gave the Germans an early boost when putting Bockmann and team-mate Emma Brussau (Rocky) in first and fourth places respectively after the Dressage phase. Bockmann’s score of 33.4 with his chestnut gelding is an indication of the quality of the flatwork now being produced at pony level, and it was another German, individual competitor Brandon Schafer-Gehrau riding Pretty in Black, who lay a close second on a score of 34.3 ahead of French rider, Melissa Prevost with Podeenagh Aluinn, going into Saturday’s cross-country phase.

Time penalties

The addition of 13.2 time penalties saw Schafer-Gehrau drop to eighth however, allowing Prevost to improve to silver medal spot, while Ireland’s Zoe Nelson shot up from seventh into bronze position when the only addition to her good Dressage score of 40.9 was 1.6 time penalties. A total of 28 starters completed without cross-country fence penalties, and 16 made it home inside the time while nine were eliminated in this phase.

Ireland’s Nelson kept the pressure on Prevost when jumping clear over the coloured poles yesterday but the French girl still held on to hear lead despite collecting four faults. That left Bockmann with a fence in hand, but he didn’t need it, keeping a very cool head to claim the gold by a margin of just over seven penalty points.

The Germans didn’t challenge for the team medals when both Brussau and Antonia Baumgart (Turn up Trumps) were eliminated at fence 18 on the cross-country track. And the British triumphed when Tulloch lined up fourth ahead of Cresswell in fifth, Locke in ninth and Wright in 12th place, all four sealing the great result with Jumping clears on the final day.

The final British tally was 138.7 while Prevost led the French side that also included Vanille Bourgeois (Mustang de Buges), Quentin Gonzalez (Perle du Boisdelanoue) and Camille Lucas (Risketon Maneti) into silver medal spot on a final score of 154.6. Sweden’s Kara Hammastrom (Creemully Melody), Moa Nordfjall (Dimmans Eros), Selma Hammarstrom (Sligo Furtunus) and Michelle Ettwein (Midnight af Lergraven) took the bronze on 160.1.
